Answer:
The structure of Parenchyma, Collenchyma and sclerenchyma.
[ the first picture is of Parenchyma! ]
[ the second picture is of Collenchyma ]
[ The third picture is of Sclerenchyma ]
Parenchyma:-
∆ It consists of relatively unspecialised cells with thin cell walls.
∆ They are living cells.
∆ They are usually loosely arranged, thus large spaces between cells are found in this tissue.
∆ The tissue generally stores food.
Collenchyma:-
∆ It provides flexibility in plants.
∆ It allows bending of various parts of a plant like tendrils and stems of climbers without breaking.
∆ It also provides mechanical support.
∆ The cells of this tissue are living, elongated and irregularly thickened at the corners.
∆ There is very intercellular space.
Sclerenchyma:-
∆ It makes the plant hard and stiff.
[Eg. = Coconut.]
∆ The cells of this tissue are dead.
∆ They are long and narrow as the walls thickened due to lignin.
∆ Often these walls are so thick that there is no internal space between them.
∆ This tissue is present is stems, around vascular bundles, in the veins of leaves and in the hard covering of seeds and nuts.
∆ It provides strength to the plant parts.
